From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> When we first allocate or resize an inline inode fork, we round up the allocation to 4 byte alingment to make journal alignment constraints. We don't clear the unused bytes, so we can copy up to three uninitialised bytes into the journal. Zero those bytes so we only ever copy zeros into the journal.
